Ho ricevuto un regalo di Natale per mio padre in un negozio online del Regno Unito, una maglia autografata per essere più precisi, ho pagato 60 euro di consegna e stamattina mi è stata consegnata questa bellissima tassa doganale, guarda, probabilmente è colpa mia ma trovo assolutamente l’importo pazzesco, è quasi la metà del prezzo del prodotto reale che ho ordinato, se pago questa cifra è meglio credere che mio padre aprirà quella fattura la mattina di Natale, sarà un altro regalo per lui 🤣

Brexit bullshit
Jaysus lol you’d be better off flying over to the UK to collect it and bringing it back across with you
If it’s nearly half the price I’d be quizzing that, shouldn’t be that much.
When buying stuff in the UK from Ireland I’ve been hit with similar shipping charges, I assume they’re including taxes and duty in the sale price, so at least I get the option not to buy (and now I’ll ship to my parents have collect when I am home).
Just think how much business has been lost owing to this. Stupid fucking brexit!

Is Parcel Motel still a thing? Pre-Covid I used to have stuff delivered to them up North and they transfer it down
The customs aren’t charging you €300 duty , DHL are taking the piss
An Post does a uk and USA address for parcels . Google it
Yep exactly that..

OP buying something expensive outside the EU and whinging about taxes
Recently received an email like this for a work laptop. Legit had a panic attack, at least they covered it but still… worth buying a plane ticket and flying over for the day.
I don’t think you’ve quite understood the concept of a note to self.
It’s unfortunate that you’ve been caught out like this but that’s brexit for you
I live in NI and I thought it was bad enough paying an extra £20 to get a mug for my Dutch friend through their customs through Royal “Snail” Mail
Stopped buying from the UK a few years ago. I buy from Germany mostly now, no hassles. Have to change the odd electrical plug but its all good.
This is a scam that is why. Even if you pay the amount, you will not receive your order.
That’s insane I would have heart failure
This could be handy for you in future

Just a warning, there are a LOT of scams that centre around tricking you into paying “import duty”. I’d recommend double-checking you do have import duty and wouldn’t trust that link, personally.
This is such a low iq post.
I would recommend just getting it delivered to the north and then drive up and get it – this way it would be much cheaper but it also does depend on where you live – thankfully I live much more closer to the border.
The customs should be 23% & then fees, if it is nearly half of price, then your seller Fucked up with the invoice & you should contact customs with the receipt & see if you can get this fixed
Do you usually announce your ‘notes to self’ to the entire internet?
Also, who is still getting caught out by customs charges??
You should be getting a letter in the post about this aswell
